Mines suffered quite badly to.
All the upward facing panels bonnet/roof/boot look like it's been painted with a yard brush..
The strange thing is though it's only visible when the sun shines on it.On a cloudy overcast day it's invisible to the eye.
I've taken my car to a number of paint specialists and after close inspection they've all said the clear coat is perfectly fine and that its the paint underneath it that's failed.
One person at a paint shop I visited just happened to work on the 75 product line back in its day said something very interesting.
He said they got alot of cars back to have paint correction due them getting damaged in transit to the showroom.The chains on the transporter trucks quite often came into contact with the top side of the cars resulting in damage.These cars were then sent back to the factory to get it sorted, and sadly not to a good standard resulting in it's failure many years later.
